Marshall Wins Top SGA Post
By Betty Holeman
"I'm shocked, I'm happy and I
love all those Niggers at A&T,
was the reaction of Marilyn
Marshall who was in tears hearing
she had been elected president
of the Student Government
Association for the 1973-74
academic term. In her campaign
speech Monday she proposed
that the pass-fail system be
instituted for non-major courses,
and that grades be given only for
major courses.
The prediction of Bennie
Glover, chairman of the elections
committe, was correct as one-fourth
the student body turned out to
vote. Glover, stated this was
"good."
Others being selected to
positions were Phyllis Smith,
secretary of SGA; Clarice Russel,
treasurer    of    SGA,    Gregory
Pridgen,   senior   class   president;

Larry Penn, senior class
vice-president.    Class    offices,
judiciary council positions and
those for student legislative
positions were unopposed.
Election committee member,
John Kerns said, "Generally
speaking, students made better
decisons than usual."
Ronald Penny, commented "I
think    this   election    was   very
efficiently   done.  It  was carried
^out in the best manner I've seen"
Larry Hinton, SGA president,
was around to state, "I hope the
newly elected officers will deal
more with facts in their offices
than they did in their
campaigns."
However, he said "Students
made their choices, and they are
intelligent enough to make
intelligent ones."

Elections Committee Slates Run-Off
Winners Fall Short Of Ten Percent Majority
By Rosie Stevens
Two positions in the Student
Government will be contested in
a run-off election Tuesday, April
10, in the Union Ballroom. The
positions being contested are the
title of Miss A&T, with Delores
Mitchell versus Toni Jones, and
the office of Vice President of
SGA, with Lloyd Inman running
aeainst Joe Lindsav.
In the April 4 elections,
Delores Mitchell and Lloyd
Inman were victorious. Their
initial reactions ranged from
Inman's exclamation "It's great!
I have a chance to do what I
want to do," to the feeling
expressed by Delores Mitchell,
"The Lord must have really been
with us." However, both
candidates fell short of the
required   ten   percent   majority
needed to win.
In explaining the reason for
calling a run-off, Glover stated
that the constitution of the
Student Government Association
gives   the   elections   committee
some very broad powers to
administer SGA elections. In
effect, the committee has the
power to establish guidelines for
conducting elections, and by
extension to set up provisions for
a run-off election. Glover noted
in response to inquiry, that this
runoff election was the first to
be held at A&T. This was the
first time the elections'
committee had used its powers
to hold a run-off election.
The reason run-off elections
had not been held in previous
years was, according to John
Kerns, another  member  of the

the Black schools and national
president of Youth Organization

According to Hinton, the
purpose of the conference is to
develop a national plan whereby
the control of Black schools will
remain in the hands of Blacks .
State caucuses will convene at
7:30 to refine the national
strategy. At 9:30 there will be a
benefit show in Moore Gym
